COLUMBUS, Ohio – Though Ohio State was one of the first programs to offer Detroit Cass Tech running back Mike Weber, it has been unclear how hard the Buckeyes were pursuing the four-star running back as of late.

But that doesn't matter anymore because Weber announced his commitment to Michigan on Wednesday afternoon, reuniting the Wolverines with the high school program that was once considered its pipeline.

Ohio State had been making strides in infiltrating Cass Tech after signing top cornerback Damon Webb out of the high school last year and recently earning a commitment from three-star 2015 defensive tackle Joshua Alabi in July. The Buckeyes also have offered a handful of Cass Tech's younger players.

But now Michigan – who signed 10 Cass Tech prospects since 2008 – is back in business with the Weber commitment.
